Description

Experience Goa, the popular travellers' destination renowned for its luscious landscapes, dense palm groves, whitewashed churches and sandy beaches. Here you will find an intriguing blend of East and West as 450 years of Portuguese rule is still evident in a mix of religion, cuisine and architecture, with baroque churches and grand mansions that dot the landscape. In your time off spend your days relaxing on the beaches or, if you have the energy, you can rent a bike and explore your surroundings, or simply read a book and relax your days away, bathing in the unique atmosphere of India.

* Volunteer Work

Your work programme and schedule will vary depending on the time of your visit and any personal interest or experience, but with a little flexibility and enthusiasm you are sure to have a wonderful experience. All volunteers are encouraged to leave their own personal mark on the project work, and the range of activities available to you includes:

Teaching:

Experience the heartbeat of the future generation of Goa, as you bring your own teaching style to the classroom. Make a difference to the lives of the children who will hang on your every word, and make friends for life with the teachers and students alike.

Orphanage work:

Whilst not an orphanage in the Western sense of the word, you will find the children for whom the orphanage is a home to be from an underprivileged background and yearning for support and stability. Involve yourself in teaching, games, workshops, and construction and renovation work, and indeed anything else in which you have experience. Bring care and affection to the lives of poor outcasts.
